The vegetables (zucchini and yellow squash) were prepared to perfection, though.k WHen I got home, I started preparing food to take to Dee's house tomorrow, since I ...

Week of August 24th through August 30th, 2025 ITALIAN STROMBOLI RECIPE to try

Image
 SUNDAY the 24th  We had a guest speaker at church this morning and he was very good.   His sermon was kind of simplistic compared to Pastor Craig's.  There were a lot of empty seats this morning, maybe a lot of people are on vacation.  Nine of us went to Appleblee's for lunch.  Me, Marlene, Lori, Andrea, Marsha and her daughter Colleen, Louise and Peggy  This was the first time Peggy ever joined us for lunch ter church. Dee Mann goes to a church in Pendleton most of the time, but she wanted me to text her about where we were going, so she could meet us there.  It seemed like she was not seeing my texts, but she responded after we had all ordered.  She told me what she wanted, s I ordered it for her.  We had a nice lunch, but of course there were always 2 or more conversations going on.  Marlene offered up her idea for going to miniature golf, and I think only Andrea and I responded positively. Peggy talked about her upcoming (Octob...

WEEK of August 17th through August 23rd, 2025 (including Chautauqua trip)

Image
 SUNDAY the 17th:   Marlene got to my house right around nine a.m.  As we were loading her car, she mentioned that she had forgotten to pack a lunch, so I went back in and made her an egg salad sandwich to take.  We stopped to get gas, and then drove straight through to the Chautaugua Institution.  We went into the Visitors Center and picked up our free day passes and then we decided to eat our lunch on the front porch of the Visitors Center and then we went into the Institution.  We waited at the bus stop for the appropriate time of our tour.  As we were walking the short distance to the parked buses, one of the bus drivers told us that todays tour was cancelled due to there not being a driver available.  We returned to the VC hoping to exchange the useless tickets for tickets for tomorrow, but tomorrows tour is full.  Also, I was told that my money had been refunded to my credit card.  Since my CC bill had not arrived yet, I did n...

History of the Land of Israel

All over the middle east (Including where Israel is today), empires came and went.  Some of the empires were the Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, the Crusaders and the British.  During these empires, there was never an independent state of either Israel or Palestine.  They were territories in these empires.  During all of the upheavals, uprisings, conquests and dispersions, there was always a remnant of Jewish people  remaining in the land.   On April 11, 1909, 66 Jewish families stood on empty dunes north of Jaffa with nothing but a vision of the future. To divide the land fairly, they marked seashells with their names and drew lots — a simple ritual that transformed sand into community. What they founded that day was more than a neighborhood. It was the first modern Hebrew city — Tel Aviv. From those windswept dunes, a city of music, culture, and innovation rose. Today its skyline touches the clouds, but its roots are still in that moment of courage an...

Week of Sunday, August 10th through Saturday, August 16th, 2025 (Recipe for Crazy Crust Pie)

 SUNDAY:   I took my trash out early today and it was SO HOT, that I felt that my breath had been sucked out of me.  I messaged Jan about it, since her asthma really bothers her in hot weather and I knew that she might be better off staying home from church.  Church was very good, the Eastmans performed and spoke.  After church, Glenda, Andrea, Marlene and I went to THE OLIVE LEAF for lunch.  I had the turkey dinner, which was very good even though they did not serve my gravy on the side like I requested.  I brought a lot of turkey and also my whole gen salad home.  Andrea told us the story about how she and two of her kids along with other people in a church she attended in Ohio went down to New Orleans to help out after Hurricane Katrina.  When I got home, I watched part of the four part documentary about  it.  HURRICANE KATRINA:  Race Against Time.  Crazy Crust Pie 1 C. flour 1/4 C. sugar 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 t...
